I found this in the Wall Street Journal this morning.
It appears that Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue announced a $19MM project to make Georgia the most popular fishing destination in the country.
Money well spent!
It is about time that non-sportsman realize the positive impact that hunting and fishing have on our economy! It appears that the state will be getting a great ROR/ROI on this one!
I didn’t mention earlier that this story was on the cover of this mornings paper!
This is an interesting article. Note how the reporter doesn’t bother to analyze seasonal fluctuation in power pool levels in generating reservoirs. Lanier, at 1053 ft, is currently 17 feet below full pool level (1070 ft), true, but the fifty year average for this day is actually only 1064 ft. On December 27, 2007, the lake was at an all-time low of 1050 ft, meaning it’s actually gained year-on-year by about three feet, which is a heck of a lot of water in a lake the size of Lanier.

Zack, On the evening news tonight your local head of the water department was explaining the meaning of drought… that if the lakes are below normal we are in a drought.
